Meanwhile, Wellington Phoenix's Israeli forward Tomer Hemed is facing scrutiny from Australia's A-league over two goal celebrations during his team's match with Melbourne City on Sunday.
After scoring a goal Hemed ran to a group of supporters and draped himself in the Israeli national flag. After a second goal he put on a kippah, covered his face with one hand and pointed to the sky.
Phoenix general manager David Dome told New Zealand media that the club had already spoken to Hemed, and that they would look at the issue in more detail "over the next couple of days".
"We respect people's rights for their expressions but at the same time we have to be very sensitive to what is going on in the Middle East and the human tragedy that is happening there," he said.
